No baton, no pepper spray, no gun. Just a kukri. Many Police officers would also carry only a kukri and a rusty old FN FAL. Again no extensive belt with any non lethal weapons, comms, first aid equipment or even handcuffs or spare ammo for the rifle. Seems they only had one or two mags and a kukri.

    The cruciform style also guve the bayonet strength against bending or breaking if it has sideways torque applied to it. And it helps with withdrawal from a flesh wound. That is where the blood groove had to be added on knife style bayonets.

I wish I still had them. I think about it all the time and remember stories that they would tell me about their days overseas.

    Cruciforms were a surefire way to stiffen the blade, especially a long blade from cheaper steel, and make it better for thrusting. A flexible blade doesn't thrust well at all. A bending blade can get stuck easily as well. The cruciform was primarily to make sure it went in to the enemy and came back out easily. As for stitching you aren't likely to stich up a cross cavity hole in several organs no matter what the hole is shaped like.

      I think that last european armies, that use a significant number of pikemen, were the Swedish caroleans and the Russians during the Great Nordic War in the early 18th century.
      The Sweden used them as an assault weapon, because their tactic was to get close to enemy, fire a volley, and then crush through the enemy lines in close combat.
      The Russians used pikemen because they had to scale up their army against the Sweden, and pikes are faster to produce than muskets. When they had enough muskets, the soldiers changed their pikes for muskets. The last time the Russians used pikes was during the French invasion of Russia in 1812. The Russians hadn't enough muskets to arm their militia, so the issued pikes to them.

  • @Lungorthin666
    @Lungorthin666 4 роки тому

    9:54 Actually the cruciform bayonet shape was not made because it was harder to treat the wound it creates, the shape is to maximize stiffness of the blade so it doesn't flex when stabbing into thick military coats without adding additional weight or material. The wound shape is just incidental. For spike bayonets, the scalloped sides also reduce surface area when entering a body so the friction the flesh acts on is minimized.

It has both. This is about the same thing as their Trecker. I have two of those.

      Lee Winterthur were victims of a politicized education system that wants to divorce our populace from our history specifically, but history in general. The ugly truth is that many Americans don’t know when the Revolution was fought, who it was fought against, the political reasons for that fight, not to mention the other 200 plus years afterwards, except for an extremely revised version of the Civil Rights Movement and that we were slavers/the “fact” that we invented slavery. For many publicly educated Americans, if they don’t read history books, or go online for historical knowledge(amongst other subjects), they just don’t have that knowledge. It’s not a problem of arrogance, as many think it is, our populace has either been at the losing end of a lengthy, devilishly effective subversion or simply the victim of a tremendous educational disservice. Just because the knowledge is out there doesn’t mean people look for it, especially when they don’t know what to look for.

    The second Gras bayonet isn't cruciform, that's called a "T-spine," which is slightly different... It is there to strengthen the spine for increased durability for thrusting, but that bayonet still has a single cutting edge. You don't see T-spines very often.

    Some time ago I was driving with a couple friends. While driving past a mausoleum we heard a big kachunk from the rear of the car. We stopped the car to see what it was. It took a few minutes to figure it out but we found an ak 47 bayonet lodged under the rear left wheel well.

      Not additionally that's the main reason, neither the mentioned wound channel nor the "blood flow". Those are urban legends. (You can make a lighter thinner blade with the same rigidity in such a cross section.

    The modern little german knife (otter mercator) actually is around since the end of the 19th century and was never (at least in germany) a military knife. But a lot of german soldiers owned and carried them, that i was long believed they were issued by the military in ww1/2. They are even nowadays in production ;)

  • @fartx211
    @fartx211 4 роки тому

    Cruciform and triangular cross sectional thrusting weapons are for maintaining stiffness while using less material or increasing blade length. The last thing you want is your bayonet flexing when trying to stab a guy wearing a thick coat, or hitting a magazine or something.
    Same design was used in the small sword.
    Theres a sword channel here on UA-cam, Scholagladiatoria which talks about this subject.

    Short swords were a standard issue weapon for many napoleonic armies. Therefore not status symbols like officer swords of the era. The short sword was a secondary weapon that was almost more of a utilitarian tool and was often recorded as being used for field craft and chopping wood.

    I love what your doing my brother. I’m an Air Force Veteran from the Gulf War era and have really fallen in to the PCP air gun way of life rabbit hole. Could you enlighten some of our brothers and sisters about this rapidly advancing activity that’s backyard friendly and VERY Therapeutic and relaxing. Since I feel into this rabbit hole, I have completely gotten away from all the meds the VA constantly wants to shove down my thought. Shooting is shooting and these modern airguns are not powder burners and are legal in most states to use in your back yard. Some are even regulated and under 300$ and a hand pump that will put out 4500 psi sells on Amazon for less than 50$. Just trying to help out our families that have been effected by this 20-+ year conflict. Keep up the good fight bud.
